My characters a swordsman, but(being new), you should use a thief since their the most adaptable class.

Warrior is the best for noobs.

Bowman would also be a good choice, if you're lucky enough to find arrows, which are really easy.

WHATEVER YOU DO, NEVER BECOME A MAGE OR THEIF FIRST CLASS.

1.  They level real slow.

2.  They have low HP, meaning you'll die fast.

3.  They are expesive(I won't go into detail)

Bowman are more expensive than thief, because the thiefs can become dagger thiefs instead of throwing stars/knives. But, I admit, Swordsman are a safe choice too. And, as WindrunnerX stated, never become a mage first, until you get used to the game or make friends that you can hunt with at the beginning. Mages are really, really weak toward the beginning.

Man i am still trying to think witch one i will start.

They all sound soo good !

And becoausev of there slow leveling process some noobs might be discouraged and may give up before getting to like lvl 20.

Yea that is true, so just choose watever suits ur style.

Warrior's is good at high lvl 50 - 70.. They are also good at lower lvls but Mages are prolly a bit stronger (the Wizards not Clerics)

Bowmans gets very strong around lvl 50 Crossbowman does high damage...

Assasin is as good as clercis around lvl 30 but then they get better and at lvl 40 they are good

Bandits is weak at lvl 30 - 40 but at lvl 40 they own..
